Sharing Programs
Hey Everyone!
Normally, I'm pretty good at computers, but this has me stumped. In my house, I probably have about 6 computers on a network. These are all new computers, for my whole family to use. I have all of the filesharing set up, and it's working beutifully, printers and everything. Now, lets just say I want to install a game on the computers. Instead of installing the game on all computers, could I just install it on one computer, and then, like a server, share that application wih multiple people, without installing it on their computer? There may be some program that can do this, but I havn't heard of it if there is.

No, you can't really do this on a home network. There are things you can do on a network running Windows 2000/2003 server with AD, but this starts to get complicated. Just install them all separately.
